ANNUAL DOCUMENT IS READ
Conservation, Ship Subsidy and For
tification of Panama Canal Lead
ing Topics Discussed Has
Little to Say About Tariff.
Washington, Dec. 6. Economy In
government affairs Is the keynote of
President Taft's annual message read
before both houses of congress today.
The message approximates 411,000
words and Is one of the longest ever
submitted by a president.
Conservation of the public domain,
hip PUbsidy, fortification of the Pana
ma anal and the continuation of the
pre! nt tarilf board are the leading
subjects touched upon, lie also re
Views the work of the various gov
ernment department! and concurs In
recommendation, tending toward the
bettering of the service, made by sev
eral of the members of his cabinet.
Economy Is Urged.
In dwelling on the urgent need for
economy In government expenditures, the
president aaya: "Kvery effort has been
made by each department chief to reduce
the estimated com of his department for
the ensuing fiscal year ending June 30,
1912. I any this In order that congress
may understand that tie sc estimates thus
made present the smallest sum which will
maintain ttie departments, bureaus and
offices of the government anil meet Its
other obligations under existing law. and
that a cut of these estimates would re
mit In embarrassing the executive branch
of the government In the performance of
Its duties. This remark does not apply
to the river and harbor estimates, except
to those for expenses of maintenance and
the meeting of obligations under author
Ize.l contracts, nor does It apply to the
public building hill nor to the navy build-
ing program. Of course as to these eon
gn ss could withhold any part or all of
the estimates for them without Interfer- '
Ing with the discharge of the ordinary ob
ligations of these functions of Its depart
ments, bureaus and offices.
"Against the estimates of expenditures
MMM,013.12, we have estimated receipts
for next year $GMl.ono,000, making a proba
ble surplus of ordinary receipts over or
dinary expenditures of about $50,000,000, or
taMng Into account the estimates for the.
Panama canal, which are BB,M0,M?.BX and
which will ultimately he paid In tionds.
It Will leave a detlclt for the next vi'iir of
about $7,000,000, If eongresa shall conclude
to fortify the canal "
Wants Forest Limitation Removed.
On the subject of conservation he de
votes considerable space to forest, coal,
oil and gas, phosphate lands and water
power sites. Aa to the reservation of
finest lands he savs: "The law now pro
hibits the reservation of any more forest
binds In Oregon Washington, Idaho,
Montana, Colorado and Wyoming, except
bv ict of congress. I am Informed by the
depnrtment of agriculture that the gov- j
ernment owns other tracts of timber land
In these states which should he Included
In the forest reserves. I recommend to
congress that the limitation herein Im- I
posed tie repealed.
"Congress ought to trust the executive '
to use the power of reservation only with
respect to land most valuable for foreat
purposes. Ourlng the present administra
tion fiO."r0.000 acres of land largely non
timbered have been excluded from forest
reserves, and 3.S0O.00O acres of land prin
cipally valuable for forest purposes have
been Included In forest reserves, making
a reduction In forest reserves of non
tlmtiered land amounting to 2,750.000
aerea."
Wants Canal Fortified.
Regarding the Panama canal, the presi
dent aaaerts that unless unexpected ob
ataclea arise the waterway will be com
pleted well within t'me limit of .ianu
arv I. 115. and within estimate of coat.
$37.r. 000.000. Suggestions for levying of
tolls and management are made, and re
gifllng fortification of the canal, he
says:
"Among questions nrlslnir for present
aohitlon Is the decision whether the canal
ihall be fortified. I have already stated
In the congress that I strongly favor for
tification and I now reiterate this opin
ion and ask your consideration of the
subject In the light of the report already
before you made bv a competent hoard.
"Failure to fortify the canal would
leave the attainment of both these alms
In the position of rights and obllgatlona
which we Should be powerless to enforce
Sad which could never In any way he ab
solutely safeguarded against a desperate
and Irresponsible etiemv "
Ship Subsidy.
The president urges such action aa he
believes will Inereaae American trade
abroad, and says::
"Aii'ittfer Instrumentality Indispensable

ment of American commerce ,s merchant

In the spice devoted to the tariff the
president says:
"The schedules of the rates of duty In
the Payne tariff act have hi i n subjected
to a great deal of criticism, some of It

misrepresentation. The net way adopted

of the protection to lie the difference be

It at home, together with such addition to
that difference as might give a reasonable
profit to the home producer. The basis
for the criticism of this tariff ll that In
respect to a number of the Schedules thn
declared measure was not followed, hut n
higher difference retained or Inserted by
way of undue discrimination In favor of
certain Industries and manufactures, Lit

has been directed atjalnst the ptot-ctlve
principle above stated hut the main body
of the criticism has bi sn based on the at
tempt to conform to the measure of pro
tection was not honestly and sincerely
adhered to."
The president nlso refers to the aptvilnt
tnent of a board of experts to Investigate
the cost of production of various articles
Included In tile subclinics of the tariff,
and concludes:
"Whether or not the protective policy la
to tie continued, and the degt of protec
tion to be accorded to our home Indus
tries, are questions which the people must
decide through their chosen rent-, s-nta-
tlves. Bui whatever policy Is adopt-d. It
Is clear that the necessary legislation
should he baaed on an Impartial, thor
ough and continuous studv of the facta."
Recommends Parcels Post.
The adoption of the pan Is post la
again adopted. On this subject President
Taft says: "With respect to the parcela
post. I respect fultv recommend Its adop.
tlon on all rural delivery routes, and that
11 pounds the International limit be

DtSCUSStng the affairs of the department
of luetics, the president says:
"I Invite especial attention to the prose
cutions under the federal law of the so
called 'bucket shops,' and of those
schemes to defraud In which the use of
the mall Is an essential part of the
fraudulent conspiracy, proaecutlons which
have saved Ignorant and weak members
of the public and are aavlng them hun
dreds of millions of dollars. The viola
tions of the anti-trust law present per
haps the most Important litigation before
the department, and the number of cases
lied shows the activity of the govern
ment In enforcing thnt statute.
"In a special message last year I
brought to the attention of congress the
propriety nnd wisdom of enacting a gen
eral law providing for the Incorporation
of Industrial and other companies engaged
In Interstate commerce, nnd I renew my
recommendation In that behalf."
The crying need In the t'nlted States
of cheapening the cost of litigation by
simplifying Judicial procedure nnd ex
pvdlting final Judgment Is pointed out nnd
action looking to correction of theae evils
la urged.
The president recommends an Increase

comment with a suggestion for the adop

Abolish Navy Yards.
The president calls attention to certain
reforms urged by the secretary of tho
navy which he recommends for adoption,
and continues:
"The secretary of the navy has given
personal examination to every navy yard,
and hu.s studied the uses of the navy
yards with reference to the necessities
of our fleet. With a fleet consider. ibly
less than half the size of that of tho
l'.ritlsh navy, we have shipyards more
than double the number, nnd there are
aeveral of these shipyards expensively
equipped with modern mchlnery, which,
after Inveatlgatlon the aecretary of the
navy believes to be entirely useless for
naval purposes. lie asks authority to
abandon certain of them and to move
their machinery to other places, where It
can be made of use."
Speaking of our foreign relatlnna the
president says: "During the past year
the foreign relatloua of the United States
have continued upon a basis of friendship
and good understanding.
"The year has been notable aa wltnesa
Ing the pacific settlement of two Impor
tant international rontroveralea before tha

"The arbitration of the fisheries dispute
between the Pnlted States and Oreat
Ilrltaln, which haa been the aource of
nearly continuous diplomatic correspond
ence since the fisheries convention of 1818,
baa given an award which Is satisfactory
to both parties. Thla arbitration Is par
ticularly noteworthy not only because of
the eminently Just results secured, but
also because It Is the first arbitration held
under the general arbitration treaty of
April 4, 190S, between the Pnlted States
and Ok at Ilrltaln. and disposes of a con
I troversy the settlement of which haa re-
elated every other resource of diplomacy
I and which for nearly ninety years haa
been the cause of friction between tWO
j countries whose common Interest lies In
i maintaining the most friendly and cordial
' relations with each other.
President Taft makes a few recommen
datlona for chaugea In the Interstate com
merce law and aaya:
"Kxcept aa above, I do not recommend
i any amendment to the Interstate com
j merce law aa It atanda. I do nut now
I recommend any amendment to the antl
! truat law. In other worda. It seema to
me that the existing legislation with
reference to the regulation of corpora
tion and the restraint of their buslneaa
has reuched a point where we can stop
for a while and witness the effect of the
vigorous execution of the laws of the
statute books In restraining the abuses
which certainly did exist and whl.ih
rouaed the public to demand reform "
